150 grams dark chocolate, roughly chopped
For the fresh mint syrup:
1 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Next, start working on the dark chocolate coconut ganache. Take a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl and heat the coconut milk for 30 seconds. Place the chocolate into the warm coconut milk and stir the mixture together until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth.
The last step to finish off this cold brew coffee recipe is to assemble everything. So, when you are ready to serve, drizzle some dark chocolate coconut ganache in a jar or glass.
